Well today is Election Day here in the U.S., our annual opportunity to practice democracy (insert joke here about continuing to practice until we get it right). Here's hoping all those who are registered get out and vote, and that the process proceeds smoothly.

Don't look at it as a very small percentage of the population paying most of the bill. Don't compare people and money. Compare money and money. It's a large portion of the income paying a large portion of the bill.

As I keep saying, only a small portion of the population has any wealth or significant income. So it makes sense that that portion is footing much of the bill.
